Any registered voter in Kentucky who has not requested a mail-in ballot can vote early in person without providing a reason.
In Fayette County, you can cast your ballot early at any Lexington Public Library location from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Caroline Brinsos chose the early option, waiting in line only a few minutes at the Northside Library Branch. She said in years past, voting on election day was a challenge, and early voting has made the process a "breeze."
"If you do it just like you did it today I think it's wonderful," Brinsos said. "I didn't have to wait in line. I was in and out."
The Kentucky Board of Elections is encouraging you to cast your ballot ahead of election day to cut down on wait times. But some Kentuckians, like Jessica Greene, are opting to wait until Tuesday.
"I think there's so much additional research and information that comes out between early voting and the voting day, so while I have the luxury of going on actual voting, election day, I can use that time to continue to educate myself," said Greene.
Unlike excused absentee voting, anyone who is registered to vote in Kentucky can vote early. In Fayette County, you can vote at any Lexington Public Library location from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. today through Saturday.
